Here ya go; I kind of left you guys on a cliff-hanger. It took me awhile to decide what turn I wanted to put next and although I'm not completely sure where I want to go with this story, I didn't think this turned out to bad. Let me know what ya think!
Klaus had been just in time to catch Caroline as her legs had begun to give way from underneath her. He gently carried her back to the mansion that he called home. His brother, Elijah, opened the door up for him.
"What happened, Niklaus?" He asked genuinely concerned. His voice reflected a little judginess as well, as if he assumed that Klaus was responsible for the girl's injuries.
"Contrary to your negative doubt, brother, this is not a product of my misdeeds." Klaus looked hurt by his brother's slight judging of him, but his expression quickly turned back to concern for Caroline. "She's not healing, Elijah. I've never seen this before. In my hundreds of years of living, this is new."
Elijah searched Klaus's eyes for honesty. "You're telling me the truth, aren't you, brother." He commented, suddenly more concerned for the life in his brother's arms.
"I have never lied to you, Elijah. This is not a time for a brother-to-brother discussion. Now move! Unless you plan on helping me save her life." Klaus pushed passed his brother and began up the stairs to the second floor.
Elijah quickly realized how wrong he was being. "I'm sorry, brother. How can I help? He followed after him, taking two steps at a time to catch up.
"Find Rebekah; we need her." Klaus quickly said. Of anybody he knew and trusted, his sister hit number one on that list. She had been a nurse for a number of decades and knew both human and vampire illnesses. He knew that she was Caroline's best – and quite possibly only – hope.
Elijah began to turn around and started back down the steps. He knew that his sister was around somewhere in the house, but he wasn't quite sure where. "Rebekah!" He yelled out her name.
Klaus looked down at Caroline as he made it to the top of the staircase. She was deathly pale. Although this wasn't always an abnormal thing for Vamps, it was highly unnatural for Caroline. A panic was welling up inside him. "Hurry up Elijah!" He yelled to him.
Within a few seconds, Klaus turned into a bedroom. He laid Caroline down on the bed and quickly turned on a light. He came back to the bed and sat down next to her. "Come on, Caroline. Open up your eyes, Love." He quietly pleaded with her. He gently brushed a few strands of hair out of her face.
"I got her, Niklaus." Elijah came into the room with a not so quick Rebekah.
"What did you two drag home now?" Rebekah walked in with an I-really-don't-care expression. "It had better be good; I was just on my way out for a walk." She whined with her heavier than normal British accent.
"Rebekah, can you please put your selfish ambitions aside for a moment? Please?" Elijah sternly addressed his sister. He was beginning to grasp the severity of the situation and needed to bring his sister in line.
Rebekah was a little taken back by Elijah's boldness, but decided to submit underneath him anyway. She walked over to the bed and looked down at Caroline. "Tell me what happened to her, Nik." She said quietly as she felt Caroline's head and checked for a pulse.
"I've never seen anything like it, Rebekah." Klaus began as he moved away from Caroline to give his sister some space. "She wasn't healing like she should be. I gave her some of my blood, but she just kept choking on it. It was as though her body was turning against her."
"Did your blood heal her, Nik?" She asked her brother.
"It worked until she simply couldn't keep it down. After that she couldn't breath." He quickly informed her.
Rebekah stood up suddenly. Alarm filled her wide eyes. "Back up Elijah." Fear laced her voice. "Don't go near her!" She commanded him before looking over at Klaus. She blinked back tears. "Or him." She hurried out of the room and to the bathroom. Frantically she scrubbed her hands as tears dripped down her face. A flood of memories filled her mind along with the pain of what she knew was now upon them.
